Remarkably insufferable how Marsh "Mush" Carter was held back from ever being allowed to have a regular weekday show of his own on Tiger Radio. Could this lack of diversity be latent racism by his KFXM employer by only hiring Caucasian males for the regular 5-day-a-week air shifts?

Poor Rex Ramsey was deemed "too black and militant" (like a Black Panther) by the powers-that-be at KFXM, andwas later summarily fired over an on-the-air mistake -- which many DJ's had also been guilty of!

Well, as they say, Mr. Ramsey did in fact "find Jesus" some time ago and a high-class wife who remarkably straightened out his life. A grandfather, Rex at last report continues as a corporate Vice President of a national bank, after starting out as a Certified Financial Planner. He now is a gentleman with a substantial multi-millionaire dollar income, investments and assets of property.I would say that makes him "changed" for the better and has since shown what a "smart guy" he turned out to be!

About Me

Until the year 1966 my main interests were reading and collecting comic books (Superman in particular)Then I started listening to the radio here in San Bernardino. I listened to KFXM and KMEN and a new hobby started. Not just listening to the radio, but getting involved by wondering what new song was coming out, talking to the DJs, winning contests and of course collecting records and just loving the music I heard on the radio along with the radio station and DJ's. This became a big interest in my life. Now 40 years later, it's not much different.
